.... the mice play

When the owners away, the mice play ....... but in this case: when the cook (Vera) is away, the mice eat ice cream for supper (and sugar cookies, and buttermilk pie).  We made it to the grocery and now have a full refrig.... but very little inclination to cook.   :)

Here at Marina Village on Lake Livingston .... parked about 50 feet from the water's edge. There were two other campers here, but one left this morning.  We almost have the whole place to ourselves.  The dogs don't even have to be on their leashes, we've been sitting out on the shore enjoying the scenery. 
There are two large groups of white pelicans that are roosting on sandbars at the edge of the lake. In the morning they swim out to one of the islands, and later come swimming back to their roost. Maybe its the weather than keeps them so inactive... ?  I had noticed in Galveston that the brown pelicans weren't nearly as active as when the weather is warmer.

One nice thing about being up here is there is nothing we 'have to' do.  No errands, no shopping opportunities.  We are just .. kinda .... here. With no obligations ..... so I'm going to watercolor!
You know, this may sound strange; but in our travels I feel like I have very little time to "just do nothing". Seems like there are always errands (pharmacy, grocery, shopping) to do; and then there are always side trips we want to take to see the area.  But very few days do we just stop and do nothing.
I think I'm going to work at changing that; after all, I'm supposed to be retired you know!
